Engineer

about

I used to be an engineer
But now I'm just an engine

Constantly turning
Never returning
To who I was

Never debating
Endlessly waiting
Without contemplating

Tell me where's the reward
When all your efforts have been ignored
I would rather spend my life on the factory floor
Tell me where's the reward
When all your efforts have been ignored
Now will you show me to my door

I used to be an engineer
But now I'm just an engine

They said machines would save us
Instead they enslave us
It couldn't be worse

We work without thinking
To stop us from sinking
And to pay for the drinking
